20 University Ave E | 25 fl | Proposed
#3
Page 64 of the council agenda has a one-page summary: https://events.waterloo.ca/meetings/Deta...ba011b11ab

Looks like the minutes of that meeting haven't been posted yet with any determination that was made. But there is a page on the Engage Waterloo website about this site specifically.

That said, feels like a no-brainer to replace the existing auto shop with some residential and commercial space! Text from the Engage Waterloo page:

Application to amend zoning for 20 University Ave E
Changes to the Zoning Bylaw for this location are required before a permit can be issued. This means that they submit an application that is reviewed by city planners and other agencies plus city council before anything can be built.

20 University Inc. is proposing a 25-storey, mixed-use building comprised of 260 bedrooms (260 dwelling units) and 647 square m of ground floor commercial space.

Zoning bylaw changes requested include:
Removing the holding (H) symbol from the subject property
Reducing the minimum street line setback requirement from 5.0 m to 4.5 m
Increasing the maximum permitted horizontal tower dimension from 40.0 m to 43.0 m
Changing the bicycling parking space requirements to allow for stacked bicycle parking;
Increasing the maximum driveway width from 7.0 metres to 10.0 metres;
Reducing the minimum required residential parking rate from 1 space per units to 0.6 spaces per unit
Allowing geothermal wells.
View the documents submitted by the development company under supporting documents on this page for more details and drawings.

Building height, units, housing types
Tallest tower: 25 storeys
Number of units: 260
Number of bedrooms: 260
Housing types: apartments

Non-residential floor space
Commercial space: 647 square m

You can provide feedback to the planning department, and it will be shared with the council, or ask a question to learn more about this application.
